First Lady Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo Friday joined Ghanaians across the country to commemorate the “Green Ghana Day” by planting a “Tree of Life” in Accra.

"Let's all plant hope by planting a tree today, "she said, stating that: "As the old saying goes, when the last tree dies, the last man dies.”

Through the Green Ghana initiative, spearheaded by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources in partnership with the Forestry Commission, five million trees are expected to be planted across the country on Friday.

The initiative is to become an annual event, hoping to help restore Ghana's ecosystem.
